LevelView is a highly innovative real time loudness meter. Its 'Rainbow meter', based upon the 'Bendy Meter' concept of BBC Research, gives the user continuous insight in recent loudness levels of the program material. The arces of the rainbow all have different integration times: the outer ring shows loudness of the last 3s, every step inward triples the time span. This technique has proven to offer a very convenient monitor view during a mix process.

Outside of the rainbow meter, a faster 'Momentary loudness' meter is shown. It is modeled on vintage light spot meters that offer a display with continuous brightness, which is less fatiguing for the eye than the rapidly changing light intensity of a bar graph meter. Next to the Rainbow the 'Integrated loudness' is shown in large digits. It can be used to aim for the target loudness of your program. Below this number, a table with all EBU loudness descriptors can be found. And on the left side of the meter a large histogram with Loudness Range indication completes this versatile plugin.

LevelView runs as a plugin in most DAW's on both Mac and PC. It follows the transport automatically and in selected DAW's the 'Link' mode even memorizes all levels of the time line so when you update a mix, the results are updated instantaneously. In the package there's also a standalone application that directly connects to your sound card. Last but not least, LevelView features a unique 'master' and 'slave' function, where slave units monitor the measurement data of a master unit via a LAN or even the internet! To take advantage of this feature, you need to buy and run two LevelView instances. Alternatively, just run our special web app in any browser. Your tablet now becomes a dedicated loudness meter that connects to a LevelView plugin or standalone app.

Voxengo Elephant is a mastering limiter AU and VST plugin for professional music production applications. The most remarkable feature of this signal limiter is its sonic transparency. Elephant brings sound limiting and loudness maximization without audible "fuzz" and "pumping” sonic artifacts.

Elephant is a highly competitive plugin for mastering applications: it features a variety of limiter modes that can be deeply customized, and a comprehensive set of level metering tools, including headroom estimation and K-system metering. Elephant's built-in linear-phase oversampling is an important element in achieving high-quality peak limiting and loudness maximization without inter-sample overshoots.

Elephant limiter can be used for mixing and mastering of both stereo and multi-channel music and sound material, at any standard sample rate. Limiting process can be visualized both as gain reduction meter and real-time graph.

Elephant, also featuring a DC offset filter, and a high-quality bit-depth converter with an optional noise-shaping, allows you to finish your music and audio productions with a spark!

It also provides a unique and fast way to create initial faders up mixes.

All versions of the LUFS Meter are contained in one single plugin. At first it operates as the Evaluation LUFS Meter. If you want to get the Discounted or the full LUFS Meter you can upgrade from within the plugin. If you do so you'll get a license key file which you need to drag and drop over the LUFS Meter to switch to that version.

It is recommended to try the Evaluation LUFS Meter before buying another version.
